It affects the people of Africa because the hot weather is perfect for the survival of mosquitoes which spread the disease, and there is little treatment available in many places as little education. Also people can't afford prevention methods such as repellent or nets.

Not presently. However, prior to 1949 malaria was common throughout the United States, from as far north as Montana and as east as Washington state all the way to Florida, though states in the north-east were mostly unaffected. Using a massive campaign of spraying and physical application of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, better known as DDT, starting in 1947 and running for two years. In 1949, the continental United States were declared Malaria free.
